Chapter 2651


    ?


    Back at the Headquarters of the Chief Military Governor, a female military doctor had just finished examining Penny. She turned to Nathan and reported, “Sir, Mrs. Cross is fine. She just needs some rest."


    Hearing that, both Nathan and Penny heaved a sigh of relief.


    After all, as the saying goes, "Once bitten, twice shy."


    Nathan''s lips curved. "Doctor, thank you. You can get back to work now."Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org.


    The female military doctor


    responded, "Yes, Sir!"


    She soon left.


    Nathan summoned Ava and said calmly, "I''ve gathered one hundred elites from Felidae Battalion. They will wear suits and be tasked to protect Penny. You have to put your guard up and protect her well. Nothing can happen to her!"


    Ava nodded. "Yes, Sir!"


    Nathan added, “Also, without my approval, no one or no organization can take Penny away."


    Ava responded, "Roger that. If anything out of the ordinary happens, I will do my best to protect Mrs. Cross with the others and keep in touch with you."


    Nathan gave an approving nod.


    "Great!"


    He chatted with Penny briefly, then told her to rx for the sake of their baby and that he would handle everything else.


    After that, he left the room.


    Back in his office, Colin and Sage were already waiting for him with their hands behind their backs.


    "Good day, Sir!"


    "You may drop the formalities."


    Nathan took a seat and sipped on his tea. He nced at Colin and Sage. "Any updates about President Woods?" he inquired.


    Colin replied, “Sir, President Woods'' surgery has ended, but the doctor said the next forty-eight hours are more important. If he can make it past forty- eight hours, he''ll be able to survive the critical period. If he can''t make it through, then..."


    Nathan''s brows knitted together. He had no idea Garrett''s situation was this bad.


    Slowly, he said, "Hopefully President Woods will be lucky enough to survive this ordeal."


    After a pause, he added, "After you sent Enrique back to the Cab and left a warning to Erwin and the rest, how did they react? What are they doing now?"


    Colin answered, “Mr. Holmes was


    mad. He imed he wouldn''t give up


    P


    and would select more powerful members to form the Special Investigation Unit. He also one will be able to protect the culprit." "Culprit?" Nathan scoffed. "When is my wife the culprit? These men resorted to despicable means just to achieve their goal!"


    Sage asked, “Sir, now that Mr. Holmes is your rival, what should we do now?"


    Nathan replied icily, "I think I''m not a good match with the Cab. I''ve always had to fight with the Cab members. Forget it. Since Erwin ising


    at me, I can''t back down, can I? How can a man protect his country when he can''t even protect his wife?"


    Colin dered, "Sir, many of us- Lucas, Zach, Elijah, Fang, among others-have contacted us to show their support for your presidential run. You may have more supporters than Ervin. After you show yourself in the arcle of rich scions a few dayster, many prominent families, wealthy consortiums, and influential people will show their support to you. By then, you''ll be able to win Mr. Holmes easily. I can''t wait to see how he will react when you turn out to be the next president!" Content

    Calmly, Nathan said, "I''ve never thought of bing the president. It was Erwin who angered me into making this decision."


    Sage said, “Sir, I believe Mr. Holmes knows you''ve contributed greatly to the military these few years. After you got promoted to be the Chief Military Governor, you''re now an influential man. I believe most people will support you instead of him. I''m just afraid that he''ll take action before the election begins."


    Colin nodded. “Yes, that''s right. It''s pretty obvious that Mr. Holmes targeted Cross Group and Mrs. Cross because of you, Sir. He has an ulterior motive. He wants to use Mrs. Cross to take you down!"


    "Yes! We have to figure out a countermeasure,” Sage dered.


    Nathan remained unfazed. "You''re right. We need to start nning now. We can''t let Erwin''s Special Investigation Unit disturb my wife yet again. She''s pregnant, and nothing can happen to her. We have to take the initiative instead of living in fear forever. We can''t wait for the Cab''s Special Investigation Unit to take action or wait until Erwin''s men frame Penny. We have to spring into action now. If our men discover the truth and provide solid evidence, Erwin and the rest will have to ept the truth."
